New springs arrived - Image Same poundage just 30mm shorter

Sits so much better - Image

Just need to sort the rear out height wise and get it sitting level on each axle and we are good Image

Unfortunately another side affect of these coilovers means i've run out of adjustment on my track rod ends, so new adjustable ones on the way, get them fitted, bleed the brakes again and make the new splitter it should be perfect again!

Arms out ready for new ones arriving, needed to 'adapt' the spanner slightly to avoid removing the rack

Had a small brake fluid leak ever since re-furbing the AP's, replaced the bleed nipples as it thought it was them. Still doing it, noticed this today -

Image

Awesome, ordered some replacements. Should be here tomorrow

So finally had the exhaust made, and got the rest of the diffuser fitted -

How it looks with no diffuser on -

Image
Image

Bit of a miss communication between me and exhaust builder, i wanted the tip cut flush with the bottom of the diffuser so you couldnt see the exhaust tip at all. So left it as it is for now see if grows on me, if it doesn't ill whip the angle grinder out and flush it off :)

Picture of it from Japfest2 -
